10Best Says

This quirky little eatery may not set many high-water marks in the contemporary decor arena – things look to have changed very little since John, Paul, George, and Ringo were kings of the airwaves. However, the place more than makes up for it with its food. Specializing in what the politically correct would no doubt dub '60s-era counter-culture cuisine (hippie eats, that is), the skilled kitchen treats hungry, diet-conscious patrons to things like cheese and veggie quesadillas, grilled tofu burgers, homemade hummus and pita bread, and freshly made soups and salads.
